Under these circumstances, Thor naturally stood out on the battlefield, especially in the South American rainforest, an environment more suitable for individual combat.

However, if you walk on the dark too often, you're more likely to encounter ghosts.

After winning the Mexican-American War, the United States regarded the entire Americas as its backyard and began to invade and control it through various means. From that time onwards, the shadow of the United States could be seen behind the regime changes in Central and South American countries.

For example, in the original timeline, Che Guevara was arrested and shot after being noticed by the United States, and the CIA orchestrated his arrest.

With Saul's formidable individual combat prowess, coupled with the covert instigation of the Soviet Union and the "other" forces, Che Guevara and his group naturally became a thorn in the side of the United States long ago.

If they were still in Cuba, things would be better. With the Soviet Union around at that time, the United States wouldn't dare to go too far.

But once they left Cuba, things were no longer up to them.

They were spotted by the CIA the moment they left Cuba.

Back when he was still in the United States, Josie managed the CIA very well in order to secure more resources. Although the general-purpose super soldier drug hadn't become as ubiquitous as it is now in the Austrian military, there were still quite a few super soldiers from the second batch that he spearheaded. In fact, the United States produced several more batches afterward. With Josie's involvement, the mortality rate of the super soldier drug formula subsequently developed by the United States was still very high, but it was much better than what the Americans developed on their own in the original timeline, so it was not sealed away.

Furthermore, under pressure from both Russia and Austria, the United States later developed several more batches of super soldiers.

Therefore, the number of super soldiers in the United States is not small.

Not to mention Peggy Carter, the current CIA director.

Of course, as someone who was actually being completely manipulated by Josie, Carter would not take the initiative to deal with Thor at Josie's behest.

However, dealing with Che Guevara and Saul is a matter of consensus within the US Congress, not something Carter can simply push through. Moreover, Carter is not Josie. Although the CIA is still under the control of Ouroboros, it is no longer Josie's sole authority.

Furthermore, Josie had no reason to protect them, so with Carter turning a blind eye, intelligence about Che Guevara continued to flow to the United States, eventually leading to a targeted capture plan spearheaded by the Army.

Moreover, the Army also used one of its own top-secret plans to capture Che Guevara and Saul.

That was the "Reconstructed Warrior" who had been forgotten by Josie to some unknown corner of the world.

The early stages of the Recreating Warriors program were actually quite unsuccessful.

However, the groundbreaking technological changes driven by Josie and the previously provided corpses of dead super soldiers propelled the project forward by leaps and bounds.

The success of the "Recreational Soldier" program has, to some extent, spurred the U.S. military to continue its research into the super-soldier program.

Because Dr. Woodward, who was in charge of the "Recreated Warriors" project, discovered that using the corpses of super soldiers or even failed super soldiers to create recreated warriors, combined with the information storage and transmission functions of vibranium, not only could the success rate reach more than 80%, but the combat power of the recreated warriors created was also higher than that of ordinary super soldiers.

Such an unexpected discovery caught the attention of not only high-ranking U.S. military officials, but even Josie herself.

After all, when it comes to the number of super soldiers, which force can have more than him?

So not long after the project succeeded, Josie also obtained the technology through Hydra's channels.

Unfortunately, after research by Josie's scientists, it was determined that the soldiers "resurrected" by this technology could only maintain pure physical functions and could not maintain the supernatural power within the corpse.

Moreover, while such "immortal warriors" may seem impressive, they are too expensive for Austria, where super soldier serums are already widespread and robot legions have begun to be built. They are essentially a waste of resources.

However, while it's a liability for Josie, it's clearly a treasure for the United States.

Thus, under the careful planning of the US military, Che Guevara and Saul, along with more than a hundred rebels, found themselves surrounded by a force of thirty-six reconstructed soldiers and a full US-equipped regiment in one operation.

At the very first moment of the exchange of fire, Che Guevara's resistance force was scattered, leaving only Che Guevara, Saul, and a dozen others to flee in panic.

However, the entire area had already been taken over by the US military, and they had no way to escape.

Chapter 370: Return of Thor

Deep in the jungle, a melodramatic farewell scene is unfolding.

"Thor, put me down, don't worry about me, otherwise none of us will be able to leave!" In a hollow in the jungle, Che Guevara, covered in mud, tried to push Thor aside and said.

At this moment, he was not only in a disheveled state, but also had a bloody wound on his side.

He was wounded during a previous firefight with the surrounding troops.

"No, we're going together!" Saul insisted, and tried to help Che Guevara leave.

Che Guevara was clearly not as strong as Saul, and was practically being carried by him.

Even if Thor is incredibly strong, how fast can he go with one person in his mortal body, especially in the harsh environment of a tropical rainforest?

Soon enough, commotion could be heard from the surrounding area.

Upon hearing this, Saul and Che Guevara knew that it was the American soldiers who had caught up with them.

His expression immediately became even more serious.

It's fair to say that neither of them, both seasoned veterans, had ever felt such despair as they did today.

In the past, they had dealt with American soldiers before.

It wasn't that they looked down on Americans; in their eyes, those American soldiers were just a bunch of pampered soldiers, and even the secret agents weren't much better.

But this time is different.

The American soldiers who were chasing them were so fearless and ruthless that they were practically inhuman!

Of course, what he didn't know was that the few special American soldiers he remembered encountering were, in a sense, not even human.

Sure enough, not long after, six cold-faced, fully armed soldiers strode out of the surrounding dense forest and surrounded Thor and his companion.

They are the American side's rebuilt warriors.

If the US hadn't demanded that Che Guevara and Saul be captured alive, these emotionless warriors would likely have been subjected to all sorts of weapons long ago.

"Now it's too late to leave!" Che Guevara said with a bitter laugh as he looked at the six American soldiers who were pointing guns at them.

"No, I will definitely take you away from here, Comrade!" Thor said in a deep voice, holding an AK with a bayonet attached behind him, protecting Che Guevara.

At the same time, I couldn't help but miss my own little hammer.

Over the past year, with the help and care of Che Guevara and other comrades, he did indeed forget his former identity for a time.

But at this moment, he once again missed his original identity—Thor.

I reminisced about my past when I conquered the nine kingdoms.

If I still possess divine power, why should I fear these mere mortals?

But then, seeing the several reconstructed warriors still surrounding them, the feeling of powerlessness to change the situation welled up in their hearts again.

If... Mjolnir were still here...

However, what Thor didn't know was that in the deep crater where Thor's hammer fell, thousands of kilometers away, the hammer, which had been lying quietly there, had vanished without a trace.

"You are surrounded. Lay down your weapons and surrender!" At this moment, the American commander hiding in the jungle called out to Saul and his companion, who were now completely surrounded, urging them to surrender.

"Stop dreaming, come on then if you dare!" Although he knew he was no match for these strange humans, the word "surrender" clearly did not exist in Thor's dictionary. He immediately picked up his bayonet, ready to put up a final stand.

As for why he picked up a bayonet, it was naturally because the gun had already run out of bullets.

There was still one bullet in Che Guevara's pistol, but he had reserved it for himself.

"Hmph! Stubborn to the end... Squad A, try to capture them alive!" The commander in the jungle snorted and gave the final order.

The six reconstructed warriors, having received their orders, also laid down their guns, picked up bayonets, and approached Saul and Che Guevara.

As these reconstructed warriors approached, Thor immediately understood their intentions and chose to strike first, charging towards the nearest reconstructed warrior with his bayonet in hand.

Having engaged in several firefights previously, Saul was not entirely unaware of these strange American soldiers.

Knowing that these soldiers were physically strong, fearless, and resistant to pain, with extremely high resistance to injury, they could continue fighting even if half of their body and half of their head were blown off.

However, this does not mean that these soldiers are invincible—although vibranium is used in the creation of the reconstructed soldiers, the amount used is extremely small, mainly for nerve conduction areas, so it does not provide any defensive function.

In fact, Thor had already killed one of them, but they paid a heavy price for it. Their guards were almost completely wiped out, and Che Guevara's injury was caused at that time.

It was around that time that Thor discovered an electronic device—a damaged microcomputer—in the brain of the deceased Reconstructed Warrior, which was almost completely rotten.

Therefore, they determined that the weakness of these strange soldiers was this electronic device.

And in fact, their guess was correct.

Over the years, various models of robots owned by Josh's company have sold well all over the world and have long been in thousands of American households.

In this situation, it is clearly impossible to expect relevant institutions in various countries not to conduct research on it.

Of course, due to the technological gap and technical protection, it is impossible for them to completely crack the technology used in it, but this does not prevent them from making breakthroughs in the original technology during the research process.

The control core of this reconstructed warrior is one such product.

Destroying this control core will cause the Recreated Warriors to crash.

Therefore, all Thor can hope for is to hit his opponent's vital point with a single blow.

Therefore, after the two sides clashed, Thor's target with his military dagger was the opponent's eye socket—because compared to the relatively hard skull of humans, the eye socket is the most vulnerable area and leads directly to the brain.

But clearly, Thor was overthinking it.

He guessed the weakness of the Recreated Warriors. As artificial warriors, the Recreated Warriors knew their own weaknesses in their database, so how could they let Thor succeed?

Faced with Thor's fierce attack, he directly blocked Thor's military dagger with his own arm, rendering all of Thor's efforts futile.

The other Recreated Warriors arrived at this time and swarmed forward to subdue Thor.

Che Guevara tried to help, but he had lost too much blood and could barely stand.

One of the Reconstructed Warriors was just passing by when he knocked him to the ground, rendering him unable to get up.

Soon, the two men were completely subdued and put into a military vehicle.

Although the operation went smoothly, this is not U.S. territory, and the U.S. military's actions here are illegal.
